Editor Lake Charles Echo:
A few words political may not be amiss
at this time. / notice 8 great amount of
elimination and recrimiRation between the
waring factions in the Democratic party
Some of it is for "buncombe'' and some OF
1t is too senseless TO be worthy Of cOnsidera-
ton. l have always been strongly in favor
OF Gen. Nichols, because ! have alWays
considered him a high-toned, honorable,
patriotic gentleman, and deserved well OF
his party, and because, while ! have not a
word to say against GOV. McEnery or his
administration, l am In favor of rotation in
office. 1t is much safer for the purity OF
the party, and the welfare of the people,
that one man should not hold Office too
long.
Bnt, while ] might prefer that Gen.
Nichols or some other good sound Demo.
crat should receive the nomination. If it can
be fairly and bonorabiy done, yet if it Is to
be brought about by yilifying Gov. McEnery,
l say nix. There is one feature In this so.
called reform movement that | cannot en-.
doTse, and that is that many of the assumed
leaders In the movement and those that are
l0udest in their deRuReiati0ns OF GOV
MckneFy have either been earpet-baggers, OF
have been Radicals who aided and abetted
eaTpet-bagism, which left its foul blot on the
fair eseuteheon Of our State and brought Il
| 10 lhe DfInk OF ruin. There is another dea,
ture of this move that don't Ike. Nearly
all the leading Republican papers of the
North speak In exulting confidence OF being
4 able to carry Louisiana in the next Presf
dental election. They see that through tht
influence of unprlneipIed leaders, sore
I heads and political dead beats, q chance tC
get in the entering wedge that shall dis
rupt the Democratic party, and then uniting
with the defeated faction they hope Il
carry the State in the next general election
1t is to be hoped that Gen. Nichols will mo-
allow himself 70 be used as q eats paw tO

boasts that he can carry this parish for /
Nichols delegation TO the next State Con
yentiOn. In view Of his past pOlitiea
affiliations, the Nichols men Of the parish

The Washington ArguS, in its issue
of the 18th inst, comes sqnarely to
the front in support of Gov. MoEnery
REORGANIZATION. Among many other
good reasons given by the argus for
casting its fortunes with5tbe admins
tration, the following are sufficient to
show that the good people of St. Ian
dry appreciate the substantial elements
that go to make up good government:
ats financial policy has done much
towards the reduction of the public
debt, aud in raising the credit of the
State. Our levees have received from
it marked attention, and Lave been
kept in condition to protect the in
terest of the sections subject to over
flow. The laws have been enforced,
appointments have gwen public sat

taroughout the whole State"

The Excnrason.

The excursion By the r0lored pso-
pie of Beaumont, Texas, to Lake
Charles last Saturday, for the benefit
Of their churches at Beaumont, was a
grand affair and success in every way.
The excursion train, consisting of six
coaches and a baggage car, pulled up
to the depot at about 10 O'Clock a. NJ,
and the visitors were met by large
number of colored people of our-tOwn
headed by the Washington Brass Band.
and procession formed as follows:
Grand Marshall, Sam Williams, with
drawn sword; Washington Brass
Band, of Lake Charles; Cadet Brass
Band of Beaumont, followed by about
400 excursionists and a large number
of the colored people Of Lake Charles,
on foot, in vehicles and on horseback,
marched through town to Perkins
Grove, where a grand basket picnic
was enjoyed. Rev. E. E. Markell,
pastor of the A. NJ. E. Church, at
Beaumont, was in charge of the ex-
cnrsion and deserves credit for the
able manner in which he managed the
affair. Both bands discoursed good
music. The excnrsionisis were well
behaved and orderly in every way.
There were several speeches delivered
on the occasion. As a whole the day
was pleasantly spent by the excursion
lists and we believe they returned to
their homes yell pleased with Lake
Charles and onr people.
There was quite a spirited game of
base ball between our home club, the
"Quicksteps" and the Beaumont club,
both colored, which resulted in signal
victory for the former by score of
l6 to 4.

We were pleased TO receive a call
last Monday from Mr.. w. II. sehaffer,
the geutlcmaniy charge da6atrs at
the Sulpher Mine oil well. He says
the fow continues as heretofore at the
rate Of 100 barrels of oil per month,
which is in great demand and finds
ready sale in New Orleans. The Bos.
ton sbafting Company are sinking a
third well---having abandoned two
previously undertaken--and have it
driven about 400 feet, with good
prospects of success ahead. The EoHo
hopes this company will be success.
fol with their undertaking, as it il
their third attempt, and its succes,
would certainly be of considerable
benefit to our town and parish, as il
would be the means of distributing
money among the people and would
materially assist ID building mp sulphur
City and its immediate neighborhood.
